I just wanted to clarify this for myself, and the rest of you non latin trained out here, fancy language, though impressive - is not always helpfull, most of us are not lawyers, or classical scholoars, just thought it might be usefull to clarify, if only for my own sake - and thought i'd add it for the rest who might find it usefull.
